please do not panic.. you are well aware of the situation in Egypt and are now in limbo until either things normalize or the embassy normalizes. Egypt has been very slow at producing interview dates and normalized operations. as soon as they have a date for you, you will get your notification by email.. mine came the same day the interview date was produced, so you can save yourself the frustration of calling and just wait for the email. a second option would be for the usc to email the embassy to inquire about their status on IV interview scheduling

good luck

check the list in the October Interviews thread http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/451709-october-2013-interviews/ There are people who got their case complete in May and June still waiting on interviews from certain countries. Unfortunately, for some countries it is a wait, and my heart goes out to all of you. Keep positive thoughts and you will get there. I know that's easier said than done, but you are not alone in your wait.

actually the embassy is working fne there, my family live there and say everythingis fine and nothing is happening like media trying to make it seem, and I know people who are also filers from. egypt and they got their interviews way earlier than I did and they got case complete around same time as I did, same visa category and country, I dont want them to know at the last minute because my husband didnt even get his medical yet waiting on the interview letter because we know its valid for only certain time and its quite expensive there to get done and ive also read about people getting their interviews and not knowing and ending up missing their appointments and some getting their valuables lost and I certainly cant afford to have them loose any piece of data or paper I sent them because its not easy to get papers again especially from egypt, I though this process would go in a professional matter but nothing did from start to finish and that is based on not only me but other experiences ive read about in this site, what a shame how they make a bad image of this country and very unorganized and on top of all no respect to their customers petitioners and applicants, they sit on a desk all day on a computer and in the end of the day they go home and the day is over for them.but people like us have to live in that nightmare till its over, what a shame...

and people that have been waiting since may in june some dont even log back on vj to inform and they seem no news and some are really no interviews yet, but I know th 2 from egypt on ms dwheels list one didnt even log to vj since may and the other already had their interview and didnt inform ms dwheels or made a post, not everybody want to share everything like people like ms dwheels expect them to do.

have the usc email the embassy with an inquiry

the applicant can email as well, they are better at responding to usc emails IMO

good luck sorry for you delay.. but no things are not normal in your country.. and there is currently reduced embassy staff no matter what you read or are told

your petition/interview letter will not expire, the embassy automatically will extend it

[sunshine1102 10]

I was not talking about the letter I was talking about the medical it expiers after a certain time, and the country not as bad as it seems, all my family live in egypt and literarly they live right next to embassy they can see it from their window and nothing is happening no where near the embassy, there is alot of army and alot of protection around the embassy more than anywhere else and they changed alot of their ways of entenace to the embassy its almost impossible to get in there, they are very protected, and I know that for sure I was there last year and lived 2 years there during even the revolution on the 25th of jan that took place in 2011 and I saw with my own eyes all the precautions and safety procedures they have and made for the embassy since then and still going.

what gets me that they dont even try to come up with solutions to ease the wait especially the nvc and their utterly rude, senceless, useless, and disrespecting agents. uscis agents are no where near as rude and disrespecting as the nvc, and uscis is government and they try to make.as much as they can , but nvc is not governmental center which explains why they dont give a rats.### about anybody that calls them needing their help, they are on top of it when it comes to taking money, but after that, we are worth nothing....

I understand what you are talking about with everything appearing normal, but it remains, the embassy is not back to business as usual and has reduced their staff

nvc reps dish what they get dished.. I have had no rude people there, but I always speak with understanding and a smile.. never argumentative or rude regardless

it is not that they don't give a rats thing.. they are NOT connected to getting you an interview

one last time

email them to inquire as to the status of scheduling new IV interviews

secondly

be nice to these people .. they are not the individuals who are holding your file, but they can get stuff done

you catch more bees with honey than with vinegar

[sunshine1102 10]

actually Ive never been rude or argumentative if that is what your getting out of my frustrations here, ive been supernice to every single human being I spoke to from the beginning.of this journey and nobody I spoke to was as awful like them,they have been utterly rude from the start of getting a case number till this, so you had the good ones and I got the crappy ones, I had a lady that was a tier 2 that scream at me as I was asking my question because she had been asked the same question too many times that day, I had a guy hung up on me with out even letting me inquire about my case, I asked one question I got a no and have a night day and a hung up literarly, I had an old lady telling me in a very rude way to basically go #### myself because I asked.about my case number too many times when it was only 3 times after waiting almost a month,l with out even coming near their number and a complete jerk that told me that I didnt send required documents when I already did and told me well we dont have and you need to resend it with out explaining what might've happened. and so did my husband they treated him bad, and my friends that delt with them said the.same exact thing, so im not crazy lol....

and yes I may seem that im the bad guy and im rude to them first, but I never once was.and neither was my husband and we still get the crappy attitude and that what gets us.....

and I did already I emailed them twice and they said we.are.waiting on the nvc to schedule and that was that!!!!!

either way im not really here to mainly vent over these people it just happenes to be part of the subject, my purpose for this post really to get an answer to the question that the nvc people seem so hard to answer if this is normal for them and if my valuables are safe with them as in with the nvc staff that handle the files, because i getting sick of the same scripted line they say when you get an interview you will be informed, which is an answer that has nothing to do with what I asked for to begin with.

all very good points.. I was referring to being nice because it didn't sound like you were going to be so understanding with a person on the phone.. which is my misunderstanding

so yes, all your valuable information is safe at nvc and this is the reason they have contracted dhl worldwide, for the safety of your information as well

it is okay to stop calling nvc, my interview date and appointment letter came the same day by email that the nvc was informed.

I hope you get your date soon, I know it is totally overwhelmingly frustrating

[sunshine1102 10]

I hope so too!!!! there is nothing left for me to do in this journey but pray for this to be over!!!!

Here's a sideways 'trick'

call into NVC, get a supervisor, and ask for an expedite.

You most likely won't get the expedite, but at least there will be some further communication between you, the NVC, and the IV Unit in Egypt.
